Toast & Jam is back by popular demand

Press release

Get
ready to lose those winter blues. Toast & Jam, now in its 14th
year, begins on Monday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. inside The Brickyard Pub
and B.B.Q., 432 Center St., Lewiston. This jazz-jammin',
blues-rockin', poetry-reading coffeehouse event continues until March
25.

Singer-songwriter
Dale Campbell hosts the six-week series of open mic nights, which is
open to all singers, musicians, poets, actors, dancers, comics and
performance artists. Campbell's calling card boasts a long history of
open mics, and he can be heard regularly on WJJL's "Just Me and
the Dog" and "Dale Campbell - All About Town."

Performers
sign-up as they arrive, and play on a first-come, first-served basis.
Most of the people who perform at open mics are not professionals.
They do it for fun (and part of the enjoyment for the audience is
never knowing what to expect).

"It's
a great atmosphere," Campbell said. "By the end of the
night, it feels like a sing-along at a friend's house. Some
performers are really good, others are just there to have fun. And
everyone loves the delicious food they serve at the
Brickyard."

Highlights
from Toast & Jam are featured throughout the year on Lockport
Community TV. Performers are invited to take advantage of this unique
opportunity to enjoy a moment in the spotlight.

Toast
& Jam is presented by Lewiston Council on the Arts and sponsored
by The Brickyard, LCTV, Cataract Printing, Lewiston Music and Vic's
Woodshed Music.
